💡 Big idea: How does integrating mechanism, experimental data, and evolutionary biology produce a scientifically grounded stewardship recommendation?
- 0-10 minAssemble materials: zone measurements, effectiveness ranking, resistance diagram, stewardship list
- 10-25 minDraft Claim: which antibiotic worked best and why, citing zone size in millimeters
- 25-45 minWrite Reasoning paragraph: connect zone size to MIC to mechanism; cite at least two pieces of data
- 45-58 minWrite the resistance paragraph: how could resistance shift the effectiveness ranking, and which drug is most at risk?
- 58-68 minWrite stewardship recommendation with biological justification; proofread the full report
- 68-80 minSubmit in the course shell; confirm turned in; note one open question about resistance
- • This report is the culmination of the antibiotics unit: you are connecting four days of thinking into one argument.
- • The chain runs: mechanism (Tuesday) to data (Wednesday) to evolution (Thursday) to recommendation.
- • Write with precision; every claim needs evidence, and every recommendation needs biological reasoning.
- • Exit goal: report submitted and confirmed as turned in before the bell.
- 1Assemble your zone measurements and antibiotic effectiveness ranking.
- 2Write a Claim about which antibiotic worked best and a Reasoning paragraph using your data.
- 3Explain how resistance could change which antibiotic is most effective.
- 4Add one stewardship recommendation supported by your reasoning.
- 5Submit the report in the PLTW course shell.
- 6Confirm it is turned in and note one open question about resistance.
- • You will be able to submit a data-supported antibiotics report.
- • You will be able to connect mechanism, data, and resistance.
- • You will be able to justify a stewardship recommendation.
- • A strong antibiotics report chains three levels: mechanism (how it works), data (how effective it was), and evolution (how resistance changes the picture).
- • A stewardship recommendation is only valid if it is grounded in both the biology of resistance and the clinical context.
- • Noting an open question at the end of a report signals intellectual honesty and points to future research.

Day 5 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Open the antibiotic therapy submission in myPLTW for Activities 1.2.1 through 1.2.4 and confirm all Lesson 1.2 work is complete.
Submit your antibiotic unit portfolio: mechanism chart, selection guide, and resistance summary.
Resistance summary should be done (Thursday); full Lesson 1.2 portfolio submitted today.
Lesson 1.2 portfolio submission visible in the course shell.
All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment — this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.
Today's PLTW tracker
Check things off as you work, then submit. This tells Mr. Mendoza how you're doing so he can help the class. It does not replace turning in your producible on Schoology.
